10 Fantastic Rock Albums That Never Got Made

10. Jeff Buckley's 2nd Album

When looking back on the '90s rock scene, Jeff Buckley really feels like one of the artists that slipped through the cracks. With tons of potential at his disposal after his debut album Grace, hearing of his death in the late '90s due to an accidental drowning left the rest of the rock world feeling hollow. It's even more of a shame considering what he may have had coming down the pipeline.

At the time of his demise, Buckley was already well into the process of making his second record, which ended being folded once he passed. Though we do have the bare bones of what he was working on at the time on Sketches for My Sweetheart the Drunk, the songs on here hint at something even greater happening. While Buckley had been known to pull from the classic rock playbook, songs like Vancouver show a different side of him, almost going into a more ethereal mold than he was before.

Considering that these are out in the world already though, there's probably no chance of anyone actually going back and finishing these ideas any time soon. Still, when looking back on what Jeff had left us, it's probably better that we at least have what he gave us when he was still among the living.
